February 2011 after the required reporting date. This is in violation of Part. II, Condition D (2) of the NPDES permit, as well
as 15A NCAC 213 .506(a), which requires the submittal of Discharge Monitoring Reports no later than the thirtieth (30th)
day following the reporting period. Failure to submit reports as required will subject the violator to the assessment
of a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation. You will be considered noncompliant with the self -monitoring
requirements of your NPDES permit until the report has been submitted. A copy of -your existing permit is attached for
your reference.
Please submit the February 2011 DMR report within 15 days of receipt of this notice if you have not yet
submitted it. To prevent further action, please submit future monthly reports within the above -mentioned
timeframe to avoid further enforcement actions.
The Division must take these steps because timely submittal of discharge monitoring reports is essential to the
efficient operation of our water quality programs. We appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions

SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 6%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, guarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
February, May, August, and November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure, performed as the first test of any single quarter, results in a failure or ChV below the
permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, m each of the two
following months, as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the
highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
"detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole'Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and TBP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be
complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the.waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the pennittee will complete the infoi-mation located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report
with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the
Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.

Permit NC0004391
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring
will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or
tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the
receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements
or limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results
of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the
DMR & all AT Forms submitted.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate
environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing
to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of -the initial
monitoring.

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with`at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
B ass
The'known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which
is not a designed or established or'operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Dav
The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any
consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the' calendar -day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample'
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of 'aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or, automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period bf discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset .number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between, sample intervals shall be determined- by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method
may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following
restrictions also apply: ,
➢ , Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
Version 1011012007

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions
Page 2 of 16
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect
effluent grab samples at least every X hours [X = days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent
samples shall be collected at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-
hour sampling period.

activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not
submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant
Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval.
Dail Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DM or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC

Applicable Federal Regulations. Regulations applicable to this facility include 40CFR 410.72, Subpart .G
Stock and Yarn Finishing Subcategory. Specifically, Section 410.72(a) defines "best practicable technology"::--.,
(BPI). As a matter of permitting policy, the Division has chosen the more stringent, i.e., the more
environmentally conservative, BPT.verses BAT -(best applicable technology). Renewal limits will be adjusted
based on new data submitted by the permittee — 59,205 pounds per week.
Evaluation of Production Database. Grover Tryon's workweek is complicated by irregular production
recorded as multiple days of one to three 8-hour shifts. Moreover, a shift may embrace a 5-day, 6-day, or 7-day_.'
workweek. Therefore, the permittee does not record daily production, but rather weekly production. Since
Grover Tryon does not store significant inventory onsite, "pounds shipped per week" are roughly equal to
pounds produced. Therefore, renewal will be based on a long-term production average in keeping with EPA
guidance (see Region 4 guidance received.March 27, 2003).
Limits Calculation. 59,205 pounds (average production week) was used to calculate an "average production
day,,. ---
• 59,205 pounds divided by 7 = 8,459 "average production day"
• 8,459 pounds used for both Daily. Maximum and Monthly Average calculations required
under 40CFR 410.72 iri accordance with EPA guidance.
The Division calculated technology -based limits using the above "average production day". Both previous
limits and renewal limits are presented for comparison (Table 2). Considering the receiving stream and IWC
of 6 %, no water quality -based limits are required for this permit.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 OF FORM 2-C NCD 986228013 001
PART C - If you are a primary industry and this outfall contains process wastewater, refer to Table 2c-2 in the instructions to determine which of the GC/MS fractions you must test for. Mark "X" in column 2-a for all such GC/MS
fractions that apply to your industry and for ALL toxic metals, cyanides, and total phenols. If you are not required to mark column 2-a (secondary industries, nonprocess wastewater outfalls, and nonrequired GC/MS
fractions), mark "X" in column 2-b for each pollutant you know or have reason to believe is present. Mark "X" in column 2-c for each pollutant you believe is absent. If you mark column 2a for any pollutant, you must
provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant. If you mark column 2b for any pollutant, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for that pollutant if you know or have reason to believe it will be
discharged in concentrations of 10 ppb or greater. If you mark column 2b for acrolein, acrylonitrile, 2,4 dinitrophenol, or 2-methyl-4, 6 dinitrophenol, you must provide the results of at least one analysis for each of these
pollutants which you know or have reason to believe that you discharge in concentrations of 100 ppb or greater. Otherwise, for pollutants for which you mark column 2b, you must either submit at least one analysis or
briefly describe the reasons the pollutant is expected to be discharged. Note that there are 7 pages to this part; please review each carefully. Complete one table (all 7 pages) for each outfall. See instructions for
additional details and requirements.

The attached Permit Renewal is missing a result for Sulfite as SO3 ( CAS # 14265-45-3).
Pace Analytical informs us that sulfite has a short hold time and must .be analyzed in the
field. They do not offer a sulfite test. Sulfite is also not on the list of parameters that the
field lab at Trevco can perform. We can not find a lab that can test for sulfite in the field.
Please let us know how to proceed.

The Division of Water Quality (the Division) hereby issues this final permit for the subject facility. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between
North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994, or as subsequently amended.
Correction to the Draft Permit. Thank you for your comments on the draft permit, received May 20, 2004. Please
note that lead monitoring and limits appearing in the draft have been removed from this permit final based on the revised
Discharge Monitoring Reports you provided.
For this renewal, the Division considered applicable technology -based federal regulations and North Carolina water quality
stream standards and criteria (see permitting Fact Sheet). The Division acknowledges Grover's abandonment of Outfall 002
and your request to remove this outfall from the permit. The Division further understands that there were no significant
changes in the treatment system or processes during this last permit cycle except for adjustments to production. Accordingly,
appropriate permit limits have been recalculated for this draft based on recent production data [see permit Effluent
Limitations and Monitoring Requirements, A.(L)]. Changes from the previous permit are summarized below:
• Outfall 002 — Provisions for Outfall 002 have been deleted from the permit
• Limits Revised — BOD5, COD, TSS, Sulfide, Phenols, and Total Chromium (limits have been revised for Outfall 001
based on production)
• Cyanide and Lead — Added Daily Max limit — increase monitoring to 2/Monthly based on RPA.
• Chloride and Cadmium — Discontinued monitoring
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days after receiving this letter. Your request must
be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and must be filed
with the office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such
a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.
This permit is not transferable except after notifying the Division of Water Quality. The Division may require
modification, or revocation and re -issuance of this permit. Please notice that this permit does not affect your legal
obligation to obtain other permits required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal

Permit NC0004391
SUPPLEMENT TO EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia
dubia at an effluent concentration of 6%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina
Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina
Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be
performed during the months of February, May, August, and November. Effluent sampling for this testing
shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure, performed as the first test of any single quarter, results in a failure or ChV below the permit
limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months, as
described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or
subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration
having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable
impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and
further'statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form
(MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B
for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the
end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting
chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or
approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee
will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit
number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the
form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should ,the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required
during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to
include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an
invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month
following the month of the initial monitoring.

October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or, combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.

In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWQ or "the Division"
The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.
Version 6/20/2003

coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
Quarterly Average (concentration limit,
The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe property damage
Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable,
or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production.
Toxic Pollutant:
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.
U set
An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An .upset does not include noncompliance caused by
operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive
maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
Weekly Average (concentration limitl
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.

facilities at optimum efficiency. The Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and
systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the Permittee to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate
laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the Permittee to install
and operate backup or auxiliary facilities only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the
permit [40 CFR 122.41 (e)].
3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit [40 CFR 122.41
(c)]
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (2)]
The Permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded, but
only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These bypasses are not subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section.
b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (3)]
(1) Anticipated bypass. If die Permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall submit prior
notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an evaluation of the

action against a Permittee for bypass, unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,
retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The Permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b. of this section.
(2) Bypass from the collection system is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement
action against a Permittee for a bypass as provided in any current or future system -wide collection system
permit associated with the treatment facility.
(3) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its adverse effects, if
the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph c.
(1) of this section.
5. upsets
a. Effect of an upset [40 CFR 122.41 (n) (2)]: An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action
brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of
paragraph b. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
Version 6/20/2003

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 8 of 16
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action
subject to judicial review.
b. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset: A Permittee who wishes to establish the
affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or
other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The Permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and

upset has the burden of proof in any enforcement proceeding.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters
shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant
from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. The Permittee
shall comply with all existing Federal regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of
40 CFR Part 503, any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be
reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR 503. The
Permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when
promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the
requirement. The Permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use
or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The Permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards (as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0124 —

Subject: DRAFT NPDES Permit NC0004391
Grover Industries, Inc.
Tryon Plant
Polk County
In response to the Grover Industries' request to renew the permit for the subject site, the Division of
Water Quality (the Division) hereby transmits this draft permit for your review and comment. Please
review the attached documents for completeness and accuracy and submit comments, if needed.
The Division considered applicable technology -based federal regulations and North Carolina water
quality stream standards and criteria for this renewal (see permitting Fact Sheet). The Division
acknowledges your abandonment of Outfall 002 and your request to remove this outfall from the permit.
The Division further understands that there were no significant changes in the treatment system or
process during this last permit cycle except for adjustments to production Accordingly, appropriate
permit limits have been recalculated for this draft based on recent production data [see permit Effluent
Limitations and Monitoring Requirements, A.(].)]. Permit changes are summarized below:
• Outfall 002 — Provisions for Outfall 002 have been deleted from the permit
• Limits Revised — BOD5, COD, TSS, Sulfide, Phenols, and Total Chromium (limits have been
revised for Outfall 001 based on production)
• Cyanide and Lead — Added Daily Max limit — increase monitoring to 2/Monthly based on RPA.
• Chloride and Cadmium — Discontinued monitoring
Suspected DMR Reporting Errors. Upon reviewing three years of Grover Tryon's monthly
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), the Division noted a complete absence of laboratory data
reported as "not detected." If your North Carolina -certified laboratory reports a given analyte as "not
detected," please note that it is the permittee's responsibility to report the laboratory's practical
quantitation level (PQL) for that analyte (for example "<2 µg/U rather than "ND" or `BLD") to
indicate that the parameter was not detected. Contact your laboratory for details (see data for cyanide
and lead). Failure to report this PQL on your DMR is a permit violation. Moreover, data not preceded
by "<" will be evaluated as "detected." These data may not only affect compliance but may also
incorrectly skew the Reasonable Potential Analyses used by the Division to establish limits. It follows
then, that Grover Industries may wish to amend past DMRs containing these errors, if any.

FACT SHEET FOR NPDES PERMIT DEVELOPMENT
NPDES Permit NC0004391
INTRODUCTION
Grover Industries, Inc., Tryon Plant (herein called Grover Tryon or the Permittee) requires a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to dispose treated wastewater to the surface waters of the state.
The permittee's 5-year NPDES permit has expired and they have requested renewal from the Division of
Water Quality (the Division). This Fact Sheet summarizes background information and rationale used by the
Division's NPDES Unit to determine permit limits and conditions.
FACILITY RECORDS REVIEW
Facility Description. Grover Tryon is a synthetic textile weaving and finishing facility discharging treated
process -contact wastewater to a single outfall (Table 1). Process discharges are permitted to 0.450 MGD
regulated under 40 CFR 410.70 Subpart G — Stock and Yarn Finishing Subcategory (see Permitting Approach).
This wastewater treatment system consists of an aerated influent equalization basin, dual extended aeration
basins, secondary clarifier, chlorination facility, and a recording flow meter.

PERMIT HISTORY AND COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Previous Permit and Waste Load Allocation (WLA). Division WLA records for Grover Industries date
from 1982. The current .permit became effective January 1, 1999 expiring on July 31, 2003. The Division
prepared the last WLA in December 1987 and developed effluent limits and monitoring considering an in -
stream waste concentration (IWC) of 6 %.
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Tests and Notices of Violation (NOVs). Grover Tryon has consistently
pass quarterly WET testing since January 1997 (19 quarters) except for a three-month period beginning in
November 1997. Toxicity failed in November and December of 2001, and again in January 2002 but passed in
February 2002 and tests since. WET testing previous to January 1997 and subsequent to the above problem
period (19 quarters through December 2003) indicate "pass."
Verifying Existing Stream Conditions. This facility discharges to the North Pacolet River [stream segment
9-55-1-(10)], a Class C stream within the Broad River Basin. This stream segment is not deemed "impaired"
[not 303(d) listed] by the State of North Carolina.
Application to Renew. The Division received an application to renew this permit (EPA Form 2C) on March 7,
2003. The application did not, however, include the single set.analyticr�rd- of Priority Pollutant Analyses
(PPA) required as supplement to the application. The Division requested the Permittee to submit this
information during the draft permit review process, prior to issuance of a permit renewal.
Regional Staff Report. There was no recent regional staff report available for this facility at the time of this
review.
PERMITTING APPROACH
Effluent and In -stream Data Review. The Division reviewed Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) for 33
months (January 2001 through September 2003). Reports appear regular, thorough, and complete except for
reporting laboratory "not detected" (see RPA Data Issues). Peak flows reach 0.45 MGD through Outfall 001,
but average about 0.2 MGD or about 40% of the monthly permitted flow.
Abandonment of Outfall 002. With this renewal application, the Permittee has informed the Division that
effluent from previously permitted Outfall 002 has been routed to the onsite wastewater treatment plant and
that this outfall is no longer needed. Therefore, effluent pages and references to Outfall 002 will be removed
from the permit for renewal.
Applicable Federal Regulations. Regulations applicable to this facility include 40CFR 410.72, Subpart G —
Stock and Yarn Finishing Subcategory. Specifically, Section 410.72(a) defines "best practicable technology"
(BPT). As a matter of permitting policy, the Division has chosen the more stringent, i.e., the more
environmentally conservative, BPT verses BAT (best applicable technology). Previous permit limits (1998)
were calculated based on highest monthly average production over a three-year period of 25,404 lbs/day and a
Maximum daily average of 30,000 lbs/day. Renewal limits will be adjusted based on new data submitted by the
permittee and "long term averages" in accord with recent EPA guidance (see Production Based Limits
Calculations).

Evaluation of Production Database. Grover Tryon's workweek is complicated by irregular production
recorded as multiple days of one to three 8-hour shifts. Moreover, a shift may embrace a 5-day, 6-day, or 7-day
workweek. Therefore, the permittee does not record daily production, but rather weekly production. Since
Grover Tryon does not store significant inventory onsite, "pounds shipped per week" are roughly equal to
pounds produced. Therefore, renewal will be based on a long-term production average in keeping with EPA
guidance (see Region 4 guidance received March 27, 2003). Table '2 summarizes production for the 5-year
permit database provided by the permittee.

2) Nine months of data only - proportionally within 20%.
Limits Calculation. The Division selected data year 2002 as best representing production because it is the
.latest full -year within 20% of the total permit cycle average. Thus, 85,471 pounds (average production week)
was used to calculate an "average production day":
• 85,471 pounds divided by 7=12,210 pounds "average production day"
• 12,210 pounds used for both Daily Maximum and Monthly Average calculations required
under 40CFR 410.72 in accordance with EPA guidance.
The Division calculated technology -based limits using the above "average production day". Both previous
limits and renewal limits are presented for comparison (Table 3). Considering the receiving stream and IWC
of 6 %, no water quality -based limits are required for this permit.

Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA). The Division compiled a list of eight parameters of concern
from the previous permit and conducted EPA -mandated RPA . Twenty-one months of data (January
2002 through September 2003) were examined to determine the "reasonable potential" for metals and
toxicants to exceed North Carolina water quality standards. These results and permit renewal actions are
summarized as Chronic RPA actuated to Monthly Average limits (Table 4), and Acute RPA actuated to
Daily Maximum limits (Table 5). '

Total Chromium Limits Calculation. The Division compared technology -based limits for chromium
(40CFR) to the acute and chronic NC State Standards (Chronic = 50 µg/L; Acute = 1022 µg/L - t/z FAV for
freshwater) to establish which are the more environmentally conservative. Based on the RPA, there is no
reasonable potential for chromium to exceed NC water quality standards. Therefore, this renewal will default
to those permit limits required under 40CFR 410.72 (a).
Phenols. The evaluation criteria for phenol is aesthetic in nature related to drinking water taste and odor.
Because this facility does not discharge to a waterbody classified as water supply (WS) waters, phenol has
no reasonable potential and is not water -quality limited. Therefore, similar to chromium, phenol limits
default to those required by technology -based regulations. The previous permit term "phenols" will be
amended to read "phenol" for this renewal [per 40CFR 410.72 (a)].
RPA Data Issues. Upon examining Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), the Division noted a complete
absence of "less than" (<) symbols signifying the laboratory's Practical Quantitation Level (PQL) for a given
analyte, if not detected. The Division suspects that all DMR include analytical events of parameters not
detected, but reported incorrectly as detects or "hits." Therefore, a note will be added to the permit cover
letter reminding the permittee that reporting the PQL is mandatory and that is should be preceded by
"<" to indicate "not -detected". Moreover, data used for this RPA may be skewed because all analyte
values were assumed detected, as reported by the permittee (except cyanide, by state policy <10 µg/L
assumed not detected).
RENEWAL SUMMARY
• Outfall 002 — Provisions for Outfall 002 deleted from permit
• New limits -- BOD5, COD, TSS, Sulfide, Phenols, and Total Chromium (based on new production)
• Cyanide and Lead -- Add Daily Max limit — increase monitoring to 2/Monthly based on RPA.
• Chloride and Cadmium — discontinue monitoring (no reasonable potential)
• Note to permit cover letter: if "not detected," laboratory PQL is mandatory on DMRs

Dear Permittee:
The NPDES Unit received your permit renewal application on February 4, 2003:. Thank you for submitting this
package.
The permit renewal for this facility has been assigned to a staff member This staff member will contact you if further
j information is needed to complete the permit renewal. Please note that the NPDES Unit has several vacant
positions. This staff shortage has lasted for over 4 years and is delaying all permit renewals. Our remaining permit
writers are currently reviewing Authorizations, to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications
and 201 plan updates ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory
deadlines in the statutes which govern our program.
If this staff shortage delays reissuance-of.NC0004391 the existing requirements in your permit will remain in effect
a until the permit is renewed (or the Division takes other action). We appreciate your patience and understanding
while we operate with a severely depleted staff. If you have any additional questions concerning renewal of the

The subject permit expires on July 31, 2003. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that
an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If you have already mailed
your renewal application, you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than February 1,
2003. Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties
may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after July 31, 2003 (or if continuation of the permit is desired), the current permit
must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without n valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and
could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Robert Farmer of the
Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 531. You may also contact the Asheville Regional Office
at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must submit with

ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
In regard to NOV-LV-2010-0079 for Grover Industries (permit #NC0004391) we respectfully request
leniency.
On the ►_ever 200.Chromium, was reported to our staff by Pace Analytical in micrograms. Our
DMR reported the result in milligrams per liter. Due to this error the facility was thought to be out of

We are constantly looking for ways to improve our service and have implemented safeguards to ensure that
these types of errors do not occur in the future
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
If I can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to call.

for such request.
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty - -
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please

wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed
in the civil penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent
future occurrences);
x x (c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation
was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent _you from performing
the activities necessary to achieve compliance).
EXPLANATION:
The violation was inadvertent. Both violations are the result
of the same sampling. We believe there was not a discharge of
phenols in excess of the permitted level but a lab error which
resulted in the violation. By way of supporting our supposition:
We have not changed our process or product line, nor have we
added new raw materials to our process. In reviewing phenols.for
2003 and 2004 thru May, the largest daily max was 0.4629 pounds
per day and 0.271 pounds per day average.

Case No. LV-2004-0237

Dear Mr. Semmel:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $1,100.00
($1,000.00 civil penalty + $100.00 enforcement costs) against Grover Industries Inc. -
This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge
monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Grover Industries Inc for the month of August 2003. This
review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring
requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0004391. The violations which occurred in August 2003 are
summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as .a matter of law that Grover Industries Inc violated the terms,
conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NC0004391 and G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and
extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms, conditions or
requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director
of the Division of Water Quality, I, Forrest R Westall, Division of Water Quality Regional Supervisor
for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Grover
Industries Inc:

1 of the 1 violations of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) and NPDES Permit No.
$250.00 NC0004391, by discharging waste water into the waters of the State
in violation of the Permit Daily Maximum limit for PHENOLS.
1 of the 1 violations of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(6) and NPDES Permit No.
$750.00 NC0004391, by discharging waste water into the waters of the State
in violation of the Permit Monthly Average limit for PHENOLS.
$1,000.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$100.00 Enforcement Costs
1 100.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account
the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which
are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention
of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or
the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must
be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and
agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that
establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of

Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be
approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) was
wrongfully applied to: the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in
writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and
inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).
Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original
remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of
Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within
thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you
complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be
submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality

3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:

an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please be

Permit No. (if applicable): NC0004391 Amount Assessed: $1,100.00
Please use this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the
"Request For Remission, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"
form to request remission of this civil penalty. You should attach any documents that you believe
support your request and are necessary for the Director to consider in evaluating your request for
remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors
listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or
the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document.
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only when one or
more of the.. following five factors applies. Please check each factor that you believe applies to your
case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the
factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed
in the civil penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent
future occurrences);
x x (c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation
was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing
the activities necessary to achieve compliance).
EXPLANATION:
The violation was inadvertent. Both violations are the result
of the same sampling. We believe there was not a discharge of
phenols in excess of the permitted level but a lab error which
resulted in the violation. By way of supporting our supposition:
We have not changed our process or product line, nor have we
added new raw materials to our process. In reviewing phenols for
2003 and 2004 thru May, the largest daily max was 0.4629 pounds
per day and 0.271 pounds per day average.

Attachment A to this letter.
Based -upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Grover. Industries, Inc.
— Tryon Division Plant violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit
NC0004391 and NCGS 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown. in Attachment A.
Pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000.00) may be assessed against a person who violates the terms, conditions or

Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Forrest R. Westall, Division of Water Quality
Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against the Grover Industries Inc. — Tryon Division Plant:

143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at NCGS
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
. health, or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;

further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to
the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for
such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of
the amount. of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of
any of the statements contained in the assessment letter. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied
by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no
factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached
waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement, which you believe establishes
whether:

(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the
information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you of his decision in
the matter of the remission request. His response will provide details regarding case
status, directions. for payment and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions.
Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.

NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Whole Effluent. Toxicity (WET) Testing
Copper and Zinc Action Level Policy .
NPDES Permit No.'NC0004391
Grover Industries WWTP
Polk County
Dear -Mr. Semmel:
This is to inform you that a review of your toxicity self -monitoring report form for the month of
November 2002 indicates a violation of the toxicity limitation'specified in your NPDES Permit: You
should. undertake necessary actions to eliminate or reduce effluent toxicity to acceptable levels.
In addition, this correspondence contains important information on the Division's Copper and
Zinc Action Level Policy which is triggered by two or more toxicity limit violations that occur during
the toxicity testing calendar quarter specified by the toxicity testing special condition of your NPDES
Permit. Attachments addressing policy implementation and a copy of the Division's Toxicity Reduction
Guidance have been included with this Notice of Violation:
You should initiate follow-up toxicity testing upon a single WET test failure which occurs
during the toxicity testing calendar quarter.
Your facility is currently monitoring for copper and/or zinc and is exceeding the action level for
these parameters. The policy states that whenever a facility experiences two or more toxicity limit
violations during a toxicity testing calendar quarter, the NPDES'Permit will be modified to include
numeric limits for copper and/or zinc UNLESS the permittee provides one or more of the following:
1. Instream measurements of dissolved metal during low flow conditions that demonstrate.
compliance with the Action Level standard
2. A revision of the prospective permit limit using improved inputs that in concert with
existing or additional monitoring data demonstrates compliance with the Action Level
standard
3. Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE): results that. definitively rule out. copper and/or zinc
as causes of effluent :toxicity
4. Demonstration by an alternative method approved by the Division and EPA that copper
and/or zinc is not the, cause of toxicity

The Division has evaluated your copper and/or zinc monitoring data. The Division has also
developed a prospective NPDES permit limit based on your facility's instream waste concentration, the
copper and/or zinc action level criterion and a translator procedure. Based on this data your prospective
copper permit limit is 297 µg/L.
The permittee, upon experiencing two or more toxicity limit violations during a toxicity
testing calendar quarter must either provide DWQ with:
a) Written notification indicating acceptance of the prospective copper
and/or zinc permit limit. Notification is due within 30 days after the date of
the second WET Notice of Violation.
OR
b) Written notification indicating your choice of option(s) as noted on page one of this
correspondence. Notification is due within 30 days after the date of the second WET
Notice of Violation. DWQ approval of options 1-3 (previous page) is not necessary
as the Division expects work to rule out copper and/or zinc as causative effluent
toxicants to begin immediately upon the second WET permit limit violation.
Written notification (a or b above) shall be sent to:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
Aquatic Toxicology Unit
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Please note that if you choose item b) above, you will be given nine months to submit
documentation that eliminates copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants. Your final report
should be comprehensive and include all data used to support your conclusion(s). Should the data
indicate copper and/or zinc as the source of effluent toxicity or if the data are inconclusive as to copper
and/or zinc's role as a toxicity source, then the NPDES Permit will be reopened and the metal limits
specified above will be applied to the permit. The report is,due nine months after the date of the second
WET Notice of Violation.
Three copies of the final report shall be submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Branch
Aquatic Toxicology Unit
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
You should consider submitting the above correspondence certified mail.
Failure to notify DWQ of your acceptance of a copper and/or zinc limit, failure to notify
DWQ of your option selection or failure to make acceptable demonstration to DWQ that copper
and/or zinc are not causative effluent toxicants within the stated time frames will result in
reopening of the NPDES Permit to include copper and/or zinc numeric limitations, as appropriate.
If the effluent is toxic, then we expect work to commence immediately with toxic effluent
samples. Failure to initiate work with toxic effluent samples during the study period is unacceptable and
will be considered a failure to make acceptable demonstration as cited above. We recommend a

minimum" of three separate sampling events during: the nine mopIth' period to definitively rule out copper
and/or zinc as` causative effluent toxicants. .
Please note that your actions to notify DWQ, of prospective limit acceptance 'or to notify DWQ
of plan option(s) and subsequent submission of 'a. plan are contingent upon two or more toxicity NPDES
permit limit violations occurring during a toxicity testing calendar quarter:
Also note that the WET limit will remain in your NPDES permit regardless of whether metals
are the source of effluent,toxicity. The data resulting from your actions to disprove copper and/or zinc as
sources of effluent toxicity will determine whether NPDES Permit limits will be assigned for these
parameters: You are responsible for initiating actions to address these issues. .
You may consider entering into a Special Order by Consent (SOC) with DWQ. A SOC provides
regulatory, relief for specific NPDES permit limit violations and, if signed, will contain a requirement to
conduct a.Toxicity Reduction Evaluation. The SOC will contain a compliance schedule, stipulated
penalties for failing to meet milestone activity dates and may. contain upfront penalties to settle past
permit limit violations.
Additional information regarding the Division's copper and/or,.zinc action level policy can be
found at the following web site - http://www.esb.enr.state.nc.us. Click on the "Aquatic
Toxicology" Unit and goto the prompt "AT Downloadable Files" located at the bottom of the page..
This web site also contains EPA's "Toxicity Reduction Evaluation Guidance for Municipal Wastewater
Treatment Plants." Section 4 of this document contains pertinent information on, Toxicity Identification
Evaluations.

RE: NPDES& permit #NC0004391
Dear Wanda:
To confirm EWry James, of James and James Enviromnem$l, conversation with you this morning:
Yesterday afternoon the operator of our waste water treatment plant left the valve to the digestor
open. This resulted in an overflow ofthe digestor anda release of solids to the Pacolet River.
This situation was discovered by our maintenance workers who took immediate steps to stop the
overflow and control the release. Very little sludge was released to the Pacolet River, probably
less than 100 gallons. I have spoken to the operator in charge and at this point have not
determined what actions, if any, are necessary in order to prevent this unfortunate situation from
reoccunling .
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Shwerely,
Gary Memmel
Plant Manager
